.rnoonss non FINISHING LIGHTING FIXTURES.

' Application filed December 30, 1922. Serial No. 609,823.

An objector" this invention is to provide a finish for electric lighting fixtures whereby various color schemes may be secured, it being recognized that there 1s a demand for fixtures which will harmonize with different 1 o 4 periods and schemes of color, and to provide such a finish which can be cheaply applied but which will be very durable.

My means of accomplishing the foregoing objects may be more readily understood by having reference to the accompanying drawings which are hereunto annexed and are a part of the specification in which v Fig. 1 is a front elevation view of the fin ished' product.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional uct as first cast. I Fig. '3 is a cross sectional view of the view of the prodproduct with the first coating applied.

Fig. 4; .is a cross sectional View of the product with the second coating applied.

Fig. 5 is a cross section of the finished article. V

As shown in the drawings, 1 indicatesn fragmentary portion of the body of a light- .iug fixture. As illustrated, the fixture is provided with a plurality of indentations 2 forming a pattern. It will be apparent that the upper surfaces of the body portion are I in the-same plane. I that the patterns employed can be varied without number.

It will also be obvious that innumerable patterns can be employed as my invention pertains to no part of the particular pattern illustrated and described.

My means of applying my improved process 'is to first coat the entire body with a finish, preferably a white enamel which is then baked so as to give a very hard surface. Various colors indicatedby the nu- .n erals 3, i and 5 are then applied by brush to portions .of the indentations 2. These colors are then wiped ofi of thejwhite surface and the fixture is; then baked. This gives It will also be obvious to a fixture and does not require any high degree of skilled labor, therefore this finish does not materially increase the expense of producing this new and improved result overthe old finishes employed on liglifing,

fixtures and lighting fixture parts.

Although I have described one of the steps to be the operation of baking the enamel and the colors, it will be obvious the baking is merely the preferred step in my process.

Having described my invention what I regard as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The process of finishing lighting fixtures, which comprises forming a plurality of indentations of a desired pattern in the surface to be finished, coating the said surface with an enamel, baking same, finishing some of said indentations with one color and others with different colors, wiping the colors olf of the higher surface and baking.

2. The process of finishing -lighting fixtures, which comprises forming a plurality of indentations of the desired pattern in the surface to be finished, coating said surface with a White finish, baking same, filling some of said indentations with one color and others with difi'erentones, wiping the colors off of the higher surfaces and baking.

3. The process. of'finishing lighting fixtures which comprises forming a plurality of indentations of the desired pattern in the surface to be finished, coating said surface with a finish, baking same, filling said indentations with color, -wipi'ng the color 'colors off of the higher surface and baking.

In testimony Whereof,I have signed the foregoing specification.
